Maxillary osteosarcoma in a beef suckler cow
A ten-year-old beef suckler cow was referred to the Scottish Centre for Production Animal Health and Food Safety of the University of Glasgow, because of facial swelling in the region of the right maxilla. The facial swelling was first noticed three months earlier and was caused by a slow growing oral mass which contained displaced, loosely embedded teeth. The radiographic, laboratory and clinicopathological findings are described. Necropsy, gross pathology and histological findings confirmed the mass as a maxillary osteosarcoma
Shared understanding and task-interdependence in nursing internsâ collaborative relations:A social network study of vocational health care internships in the Netherlands
Shared understanding among collaborators is a key element of delivering successful interprofessional care and a main challenge for professional education concerns nurturing such understanding among students. We assessed how nursing students perceived different levels of shared understanding in their collaborations with others in clinical internships. We analyse the collaborative networks of interns to examine whether individual factors (attitudes, perceptions of collaborative cultures, and motivation) or relational factors among collaborators (task-interdependence, cooperation frequency, and interprofessional and hierarchical roles) affect shared understanding among 150 Dutch nursing interns and their collaborators (nâ=â865). Theoretically, we stress the importance of focusing on collaborative relations in interprofessional care settings. Multilevel models distinguish two levels in explaining the variation in shared understanding, nesting collaborative relationships within individuals. Results indicate merely 37.4% of found variation of shared understanding could be attributed to individual-level factors (variation between interns), while 62.6% of variation is found within interns, showing that shared understanding differs substantially between the collaborations one intern engages in. Multilevel models reveal that task-interdependence strongly predicts shared understanding in inter- and intraprofessional collaborations. We conclude that focusing on collaborative relations is essential to foster shared understanding in vocational internship programmes, and that health care organisations should pay explicit attention to task-interdependence in internsâ collaborations
Mentoring of newly qualified teachers. A bilateral comparison between Germany and Finland
Mentoring stellt in der Begleitung von in den Beruf einsteigenden Lehrpersonen eine international gÀngige Praxis dar. Ausgehend von theoretischen und empirisch fundierten Annahmen wird in diesem Beitrag der Ansatz der practice architectures genutzt, um Formen des Mentorings in Deutschland und Finnland im Hinblick auf lÀnderspezifische VerstÀndnisse vom Berufseinstieg von Lehrpersonen und deren Professionalisierung zu untersuchen. (DIPF/Orig.)Internationally, mentoring is a well-recognized practice in supporting newly qualified teachers. Based on theoretical and empirical understanding, this paper compares mentoring practices in two countries: Germany and Finland. The theoretical framework of practice architectures is used to explore mentoring as an expression of a particular view on teacher induction and professionalization of teachers. (DIPF/Orig.
Topology of energy surfaces and existence of transversal Poincar\'e sections
Two questions on the topology of compact energy surfaces of natural two
degrees of freedom Hamiltonian systems in a magnetic field are discussed. We
show that the topology of this 3-manifold (if it is not a unit tangent bundle)
is uniquely determined by the Euler characteristic of the accessible region in
configuration space. In this class of 3-manifolds for most cases there does not
exist a transverse and complete Poincar\'e section. We show that there are
topological obstacles for its existence such that only in the cases of
and such a Poincar\'e section can exist.Comment: 10 pages, LaTe
Charged rho meson production in neutrino-induced reactions at E_nu = 10 GeV
The neutrinoproduction of charged mesons on nuclei and nucleons is
investigated for the first time at moderate energies ( 10
GeV), using the date obtained with SKAT bubble chamber. No strong nuclear
effects are observed in and production. The fractions of
charged and neutral pions originating from decays are obtained and
compared with higher energy data. From analysis of the obtained and available
data on and (892) neutrinoproduction, the strangeness
suppression factor in the quark string fragmentation is extracted: . Estimations are obtained for cross sections of quasiexclusive
single and coherent neutrinoproduction on nuclei. The
estimated coherent cross section = (0.29 cm is compatible with theoretical predictions.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figure
Nuclear Attenuation of Fast Hadrons Produced in Charged-Current Neutrino and Antineutrino Interactions in Neon
The production of hadrons in charged-current (anti)neutrino interactions is
studied with the bubble chamber BEBC exposed ot the CERN (anti)neutrino
wide-band beam. Fast-hadron production in a neon target is found to be
attennuated as compared to that in a hydrogen target. This feature is discussed
within the theoretical models based on the idea of a hadron formation length.
The experimental results favour the `constituent' over the `yo-yo' length
concept, and suggest a quark cross-section in the order of 3mb.Comment: 14 pages + 7 figures, ps fil
The H1 Forward Proton Spectrometer at HERA
The forward proton spectrometer is part of the H1 detector at the HERA
collider. Protons with energies above 500 GeV and polar angles below 1 mrad can
be detected by this spectrometer. The main detector components are
scintillating fiber detectors read out by position-sensitive photo-multipliers.
These detectors are housed in so-called Roman Pots which allow them to be moved
close to the circulating proton beam. Four Roman Pot stations are located at
distances between 60 m and 90 m from the interaction point.Comment: 20 pages, 10 figures, submitted to Nucl.Instr.and Method
